FRED N. BIERCE, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO.

BURNER.

Application filed November 22, 1922.

My invention relates to burners in which coal oil or kerosene is converted into gas and mixed with air as a fuel to be used in said burner.

The object of my invention is to provide simple, ellicient and economically constructed means for producing such a burner.

My invention consists in providing a casing having a gas chamber or a gas and air mixing chamber and having extended channels with removable baflles therein for liorm ing gas burner outlets.

My invention also consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts as herein set forth and claimed.

In the drawings:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a burner constructed according to my invention with a part of the gas generator broken away to more clearly illustrate the gas outlet construetion Fig. 2 is an enlarged longitudinal section taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1 with one of the removable battles omitted;

Fig. 3 is a side elevation. of one of the ballles partly broken away;

Fig. 4 is a perspective view thereof partly broken away; and

Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a portion oi the burner showing one of the removable bafiles lifted partly out or position.

In the embodiment of my invention as illustrated and which shows a preferred. construction I provide a metal casing 1 having gas and air mixing chamber 2 and having large extended channels 3 in the upper wall thereof, each channel being provided with an extended wall 4 projecting upwardly on each side and end thereof from the top wall 2 of chamber 2. The large channels permit said casing to be cast without the necessity of machining it thereby saving in cost of construction. \Vithin each channel I insert a removable rectangular trough-shaped battle 5 tapering downwardly from top to bottom to correspond with the shape of Serial No. 602,643.

channels 3 and cut away between its corners 6 on its sides and ends to form gas passages 7 and 8 when it is inserted into channel 3. A suitable handle 9 is mounted centrally of each battle for the purpose of conveniently handling it for insertion into and removal from position in the channel for cleaning, repairing and the like. The battles may also be cast without machining and thereby a great saving is effected in the cost of construction. By extending the walls 2" to form upwardly extending flanges 4 a long gas passage 4 is formed from the gas chamber to the pointwhere the gas is ignited and forms flame 10 so that the upper wall 2 of gas chamber 2 is prevented from being heated to such an extent as to cause back-firing of the burners into said chamber.

The burner is provided with a suitable generator 11 which is mounted between the rows of burners 12 and 13, respectively, and a suitable asbestos wick 14: is placed in a depression adjacent said generator between said rows of burners and may be saturated with wood alcohol for the purpose of initially heating said generator.

l Vhile I have shown a particular construction and arrangement of parts it will be apparent that the same is capable of modification without departing from the scope or spirit thereof as defined in the claim.

hat I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

In a gas burner, a casing having a gas and air mixing chamber, a plurality of spaced apart extended. outlets projecting outwardly therefrom and arranged in rows, a gas generator disposed between said rows, and a removable battle mounted in each of said extended gas outlets and reduced on its sides and ends between its corners to form gas passages between the walls of said gas outlets and said balile, substantially as set forth and for the purposes specified.
